Send us Fan MailA $60-$80 single barrel bourbon should not taste like furniture polish, yet sometimes it does and that's the risk we all sign up for when “single barrel” is on the label. We pick up that thread and go deep on Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel from Buffalo Trace, starting with a bottle that didn't taste right and ending with one that absolutely delivers.The turning point is the detective work: we hold the bottle up to the light, find the tiny laser etching, and decode what it means. Our pour is traced to a bottling date of June 9, 2020, and we talk through what the letter and digits can and can't tell you without Buffalo Trace's internal database. From there, we get into the bigger question bourbon fans argue about nonstop: why certain years get more “secondary market chatter,” and why you can't judge a whole label by one off barrel.Then we taste. Expect real, specific bourbon tasting notes: a balanced sweet nose, oak that suggests age, a dry start that blooms into apple-like sweetness, citrus leaning grapefruit, a honey lift, and a medium-to-long finish with a peppery kick and a light Kentucky hug. We also compare bottles, talk store picks like Binny's, and map out a practical “P-O-U-R man's” route to high-end complexity without chasing unicorn prices. If you like bourbon nerdiness with laughs, a surprise Roomba cameo, and a little E.H. Taylor history, this one's for you.Subscribe for more tastings, share this with your bourbon group chat, and leave a review if you want us to keep hunting the best barrels. What's the best single barrel you've ever opened?

Send us Fan MailThis episode, the table's full — my son and two friends joined me for a deep dive into one of bourbon's most iconic names: Colonel E.H. Taylor. We tasted through the entire core lineup — Small Batch, Single Barrel, Straight Rye, and Barrel Proof — comparing notes on nose, palate, and finish across all four.Before we started pouring, I gave the guys some background on who E.H. Taylor really was and why he's often credited as the father of modern bourbon, including his role in shaping the Bottled-in-Bond Act.As a bonus, we cracked open a Wyoming store-pick Stagg to see how it measured up against the Colonel's own lineup — and the reactions did not disappoint.Pour yourself a glass and join us for an honest, unfiltered tasting session.

Welcome back to Chill Filtered, the podcast where we drink whiskey so you don't have to (but you probably should)! This week, Cole and Bryan head down to the Heart of Dixie to crack into our very first pour from Alabama: the Dettling 1867 6-Year Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey (116.7 Proof) (huge shoutout to Patrick for the bottle split!). Before diving into the glass, the guys celebrate Beck starting kindergarten, Bryan battling Phoenix haboobs and fried doorbell transformers, Cole winning back his white whale unicorn bottle (A. Smith Bowman Sweet 16), and breaking news that Nick Taylor of Found North is officially attending the Phoenix Meetup barrel pick this November!

This marks the 1st time in history we've completely created a virus from scratch. So we decided to talk about it. All the obvious joys and concerns. Plus a little discussion of ants. Why not.

Send us Fan MailPapa Ritter and I have been working on this episode for a long friggin' time, y'all. It's finally time. We're rounding out the end of Big Ass August by asking the big, unending question: which Weller Bourbon is the best one? And, I tell ya: we answer that question. Special Reserve? 12 Year? Single Barrel??? There are so many options. But, I tell ya one thing: it's a good freaking time.

We're back with a special store pick! Jon picked up a Nobleton's, which was a single barre pick from St. Louis Juice Club. It's an American Single Malt, which is a new classification. Justin and Jon were joined by Brian AND producer Justin came out from behind the camera. New for us and probably new for you.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse, Mark and Matt are joined by John Wadell, Head Taster, Blender, and Single Barrel Curator at Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co., for a long-overdue return to the show. Recording from the Kentucky Peerless Suite at Hotel Distil in Louisville, John catches them up on how his role has evolved and reflects on his journey from the early days of Peerless to helping guide the whiskey the distillery is producing today. John talks about the growth of his palate over the past decade, the collaborative tasting and blending process at Peerless, and how the team decides which barrels become batches, single barrels, or special releases. He also shares the fun behind naming Peerless single barrels, discusses the success of the High Rye Bourbon, and explains why the distillery's sweet mash process, non-chill filtration, and focus on mouthfeel remain such important parts of the Peerless identity. The conversation also turns to a major milestone for the distillery: the release of Henry Kraver's 10-Year Bourbon. John shares what it was like tasting through roughly 200 barrels to select the final group for the release and why working with whiskey he remembers filling and rolling years ago made the experience especially meaningful. He also looks ahead to the 10-Year Rye planned for next year, the possibility of older age-stated releases and single barrels, and some intriguing older Double Oak barrels still aging in the Peerless inventory. Along the way, Mark, Matt, and John taste and review "The Phoenix," a 108.5-proof Kentucky Peerless Double Barrel Rye Single Barrel selected for Repeal Steakhouse and Hotel Distil. They talk through its oak, rye spice, citrus, toffee, chocolate, coffee, and malty notes while John explains Peerless' unique approach to Double Oak whiskey—letting the palate, rather than a fixed timetable, determine when each barrel is ready. It's a fun, wide-ranging conversation about whiskey, patience, blending, the evolution of Kentucky Peerless, and what comes next for one of Louisville's most distinctive family-owned distilleries. Pour yourself a great glass, sit back, and join us for another great episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast. This episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast is presented by Repeal Oak Fired Steakhouse and sponsored by Pappy & Co., District 7 Social, The Kitchen Table at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., and Hotel Distil.

Send us Fan MailYou know that moment when a bottle has been “a thing” for years, yet somehow you've never sat down and given it a proper, no-distractions review? That's us with Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch, and we fix it with a full tasting plus the kind of bourbon talk you can actually use at the liquor store.We start with some music nostalgia and a detour into Kentucky Colonel lore, then get serious about what's in the glass. We explain what “bottled-in-bond” really signals (yes, that 100 proof shows up), why Buffalo Trace mash bill #1 matters, and how this label can share DNA with other fan favorites while still tasting like its own classic pour. If you've ever wondered why people describe a bourbon as “traditional,” this is a great example: big caramel energy, a touch of honey, a late pop of orange peel, then a finish that dries out into oak and char.We also tackle the practical question: small batch vs single barrel. We lay out why single barrels can be amazing or disappointing depending on the barrel, why small batch aims for consistency, and how that plays into price when Small Batch hovers around $40 retail and Single Barrel creeps higher. Along the way, we talk gifting value, shelf sightings, and the simple rule we use to avoid getting ripped off when bourbon markup starts creeping in.If you're building a bourbon list, hunting Buffalo Trace bottles, or just looking for a dependable, giftable bottled-in-bond bourbon, come taste this one with us. Subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend, and leave a review with your own E.H. Taylor Small Batch take: instant classic or just solid for the money?

So let me take you back to a couple months ago. The family and I went up to Portland Maine for vacation. And i just had to stop by Hardshore Distilling. Adam from Lost Lantern got me contact info, and off we went. So this is a 1/2 onsite 1/2. online show. I hope you enjoy.Hardshoredistilling.comBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Not complicated. unconventional.Hardshore Distilling Company is a different kind of distillery. We don't obsess about what the other guys and girls are doing. We obsess about what they're not doing. We are only interested in making spirits that have a purpose on the bar shelf, not just imitating the greats who have already earned their place there. We are constantly trying to coax new tastes and textures out of anything we can fit in our stills (and with a 1,200-liter Arnold Holstein still, we can fit a lot). We almost never rule anything out before we've attempted to distill it at least once. Sometimes once is clearly enough. Other times, a change in technique with the same botanical can produce a very different result. ​In 2016, after nearly four years of tinkering and tweaking, we released our flagship product, Hardshore Original Gin. This lovely gin is thoughtfully crafted from our family-grown grain and is brimming with fresh rosemary and green mint. A very common refrain we hear from people goes something along the lines of "You know? I don't really even like gin....but I LOVE Hardshore!" That's what keeps us going. We want to be responsible for people reviewing their previous objections to gin.​Since then, we've carefully and thoughtfully added to our spirits portfolio with Shorebird Bourbon and now Star & Pine Maine Vodka, but our guiding principles for the gin apply to the rest of our products - do the work and let nature drive. We also strive to do our part to conserve the natural wonders of Maine that make Hardshore so unique. Our water comes straight to us from Sebago Lake, and is so clean that we don't require the use of reverse osmosis to purify our water. This helps us use up to 30% less water than other facilities of a similar size. We also support local conservation groups dedicated to preserving New England's natural water sources with the sale of ever bottle of our Star & Pine Maine Vodka. It's a small step, but it's in the right direction. Join us!Shorebird bourbon90 - 106 proof (45% - 53% ABV)It wasn't too long after we bottled our first batch of gin that our minds wandered beyond the category toward America's native spirit - bourbon. We imagined what our perfect conception of bourbon would be like and it became immediately clear - there is no perfect bourbon. Sometimes a punk-rock, flavor-forward bourbon is the call (Small Batch). At other times, a soft-spoken, exceptionally smooth whiskey is the trick (Single Barrel). Still others, a smokey, brooding and full-bodied whiskey puts the perfect cap on the night (Master Distiller's Series). We couldn't be more proud of these bourbons, all made right here at Hardshore using grains grown on our founder's 5th generation family farm. This is small bourbon at it absolute best.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, Buffalo Trace has one of the most talked-about releases of the year on the way — and I finally got my hands on a Weller bottle I've somehow never reviewed. Garrison Brothers kicks things off with its 2026 Cowboy Bourbon, an 8+ year Texas bourbon bottled at a massive 141 proof, along with the first cask-strength single-barrel version of Laguna Madre. Then Buffalo Trace brings the heat with the Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary Cask Strength, an uncut and unfiltered 127.8-proof release using Mash Bill #2 — putting it in very rare company alongside Blanton's Straight From the Barrel. Jameson is also expanding its U.S. lineup with Distiller's Batch, matured across five different oak types and arriving this September. And because Bourbon Bytes is whiskey news with a gaming twist, I'm also running through some of the biggest August game releases, including Big Walk, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on Switch 2, Grounded 2, and the very Star Fox-inspired Wild Blue Skies. Then it's time for a Byte-Sized Review of Weller Single Barrel Bourbon — the elusive orange-label Weller. I finally found one at retail for about $69. At 97 proof, this single-barrel wheated bourbon surprised me with considerably more oak than expected, plus honey-coated oatmeal, vanilla, dried fruit, caramel, brown sugar, and a profile that reminded me of an older, proofed-down Weller Antique 107. But rarity doesn't automatically make a whiskey worth chasing.

The Pencil Primer returns with part two: the case of yonder pencil.

Send us Fan MailOne great bourbon story can change your whole drinking life, and Ed Blake's starts with a bottle he avoided for years. After a bad early run-in with bourbon, he returns to it later through a Pappy Van Winkle 15 and suddenly the rabbit hole opens. From there, we follow the real path from enthusiast to trusted palate: learning how to taste, learning how to talk about flavour, and learning how to help other people find what they actually like. Ed (Rising Tide Spirits) shares how barrel picks and community feedback sharpened his selection skills, including the practical reality of tasting barrels in winter, when whiskey can show harsher edges before it warms up. We also get into what it's like building brands as a non-distiller producer, how Old Stubborn came to life through a strong distillery relationship, and why he's committed to small production and high quality instead of chasing shelf space. Then we go deep on rye whiskey, especially MGP rye. We unpack the dill pickle note that turns some drinkers off, how fermentation timing can influence it, and why longer aging often brings more caramel sweetness, richer oak, and a smoother balance. If you're curious about Old Swagger, Old Stubborn, premium bourbon packaging, or what separates a hype bottle from a genuinely great pour, you'll leave with a clearer buying compass and a better vocabulary for your own palate. Subscribe for more whiskey conversations, share this with a rye or bourbon friend, and leave us a review with the best bottle you've had this year. What tasting note instantly makes you want another sip?We sit down with Ed Blake of Rising Tide Spirits and trace the real steps from bourbon fan to respected barrel picker and brand builder. We dig into how he sources and blends Old Stubborn and Old Swagger, why his packaging is part of the experience, and what he's learning from rye whiskey as the market shifts.  • Ed's early bourbon misfire and the moment Pappy brings him back  • Building a whiskey community and learning through shared pours  • The liquor store “help a shopper” moment that turns into a job  • How private barrel picks create trust and demand  • Sourcing as an NDP and why winter barrel samples can mislead  • Designing premium packaging that matches premium whiskey  • Staying small by choice while releases sell out fast  • Rye whiskey education, MGP dill notes, and how age softens them  • Barrel aging plans in Kentucky and a teased higher-aged release  Remember, we're the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Alex Castle and Matt Grove to talk about how Augusta Distillery grows fast without losing its cask strength, unfiltered identity. We dig into the Ohio OHLQ collaboration, why the $59 small batch matters, and how meeting people in stores and at festivals turns shelf bottles into home bar staples. • why Augusta moves from single barrels into three to six barrel small batch while keeping a single barrel mindset • how the Ohio OHLQ custom small batch and Buckner's 13 release land with fans across the state • why cask strength and no dilution stay non-negotiable for the brand • the real work behind barrel picks, blending decisions, and building a balanced flavor profile • why pricing is part of trust, giving new drinkers a lower risk way to try Augusta • what “boots on the ground” tastings change for a brand in a crowded bourbon market • how Augusta's distillery experience keeps evolving, from tours to bottle your own to cocktails Whether you listen to us or you watch us, make sure you leave us good feedback. A $59 bourbon can sound like a compromise until you taste what Augusta Distillery is putting in the bottle. We're joined by master distiller Alex Castle and brand ambassador Matt Grove to unpack the thinking behind Augusta's cask strength small batch, built from six barrels and designed to drink with the same care you'd expect from a single barrel program. No dilution, unfiltered, and largely made from 7 to 9 year old bourbon, it's positioned as a real entry point for people who have stared at premium Buckner's bottles and thought, “I need to taste this before I bet that kind of money.”We also get into Augusta's Ohio push with OHLQ and what it's like taking the show on the road, hitting tastings across Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati at some truly weird hours, then finding lines of fans already waiting. If you know Ohio, you know the love for weeded bourbon runs deep, so we talk about the reception for Augusta's weeded single barrel and why face to face tastings still matter in a world of constant releases and crowded shelves.Along the way we swap festival stories, explain why barrel picking and blending is harder than it looks, and tease what Augusta is planning for Kentucky Bourbon Festival. If you're hunting bottles, planning a bourbon tourism trip, or just want a cask strength pour that overdelivers for the price, this conversation gives you the context and the practical tips.

Send us Fan MailAmerica turns 250 this 4th of July, and we're celebrating with Evan Williams' brand new America250 commemorative lineup — the 1783 Small Batch and the seriously strong Single Barrel, bottled at 117.76 proof and dipped in blue wax to match the Statue of Liberty on the label.In this episode, we taste both bottles side by side, break down what makes each one worth (or not worth) the price tag, and dig into the real story behind the name on the label. Evan Williams is marketed as "Kentucky's first distiller" — but the history is way murkier than the bottle wants you to believe. We get into what historians actually say about the man, the legend, and how a 1957 marketing decision turned into one of the best-selling bourbon brands in the world.Bottles featured:

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan open up a bottle sent over by their YouTube pals from the Hello Again Whiskey Friends channel: a Silver Springs Sweet Rye 8-Year Single Barrel pick. Before diving into the glass, the boys discuss Cole's high-stakes, upcoming mission to track down a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23-Year. Will the whiskey gods smile upon him, or is he heading for heartbreak? Cole also shares a look into the history behind the Silver Springs brand, breaking down its roots and legacy. On Whiskey World News, Bryan reads about an incredibly eccentric new release out of Islay. Bruichladdich has officially launched Yellow Submarine III (also known as the Yellow Submarine [Reclassified]), continuing their legendary, tongue-in-cheek "Whisky of Mass Distinction" series inspired by the actual Ministry of Defence submersible found off their coast. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys debate a massive retail price check on a legendary bottle name: Would you pull the trigger on the new Wild Turkey Gold Foil Edition if you saw it on the shelf for $400 plus tax? A friend's rye pick, the ultimate Pappy hunt, and a high-dollar Turkey debate—pour a dramatic dram and join us!

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief returns to Arvada, Colorado, for his third visit with Patrick Miller, founder and distiller of Talnua Distillery and a pioneer of American Single Pot Still Whiskey.   Patrick shares updates on Talnua's continued growth and his mission to bring this historic Irish whiskey style into the American whiskey landscape while embracing Colorado craftsmanship and innovation.   On the first half of the show, the guys sip Talnua's Bourbon Cask & Stave Series Bottled-in-Bond American Single Pot Still Whiskey, aged a minimum of four years in ex-bourbon casks with charred American white oak staves, followed by their American White Oak Cask Bottled-in-Bond expression, aged four years in first-fill charred American white oak casks. Both are bottled at 100 proof and showcase the rich, grain-forward character that defines Talnua.   On the second half, they pour the Sherry Cask Bottled-in-Bond American Single Pot Still Whiskey before diving into the 2026 Olde Saint's Keep Special Release, a unique collaboration finished in six different casks sourced from fellow Colorado distilleries. The show closes with Talnua's newest Single Barrel selection for Bluegrass Lounge and Hazel's Beverage World, bottled at a robust 116.7 proof and aged in a former Elijah Craig barrel.   From tradition to innovation, this episode highlights why Talnua remains one of the most unique and respected craft distilleries in America.   Pour a glass and Take the Ride with Big Chief. Cheers.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two familiar faces to the corner of Rick House in Frankfort: Diane Strong, the driving force behind the Bourbon on the Banks Festival, and Bo Cumberland, the festival's videographer and distillery film maker. Together they settle in for a relaxed preview of the 2026 Bourbon on the Banks Festival — now in its seventh year — touching on new events, expanded programming, sold-out tickets, and the evolution of the single barrel program that has become one of the festival's most celebrated features. On the Tasting Mat: - James E. Pepper 1776 Single Barrel Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A barrel selected the prior year by Jim, Todd, and Bo at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington. Clocking in at 109.4 proof, this single barrel pours with rich aromas of cherry cola, leather, and a subtle barrel funk. The palate delivers a lush butterscotch sweetness — evoking Werther's Original hard candies — balanced by a satisfying peppery bite on the mid-palate. The finish is long, warm, and refuses to fade. A confidently balanced cask-strength pick available at the festival for around $60–65. *(00:01:54)* - Jeptha Creed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel Reserve (Bourbon on the Banks 2025 Pick): A four-grain bourbon — built on the distillery's heirloom Bloody Butcher corn alongside wheat, malted barley, and rye — bottled at 119.52 proof from Warehouse B after seven years and one month of aging. The nose opens with intriguing complexity, revealing sweet cinnamon, a whisper of root beer, and a hint of fresh strawberry. The palate is full-powered and richly flavored, landing on buttered cinnamon pancakes with a wave of deep caramel. A distinctive expression that showcases just how compelling Jeptha Creed's long-aged releases have become. *(00:20:05)* On the Tasting Mat: Beyond the pours, the crew digs deep into everything Bourbon on the Banks 2026 has to offer: a sold-out Bourbon Bell River Tour with Ingram Distillery, the returning Whiskey Thief Kickoff Party (barrel burning included), a free family-friendly Friday night on the lawn with circus performers and a mermaid, the Culinary Bourbon Geek class with Peggy Noe Stevens now pushed to 2 p.m., a Friday VIP Reception and Auction sponsored by Larkin Bourbon, a Saturday morning brunch at Cypress and Oak, expanded single barrel picks from eleven distilleries including Angel's Envy, Pursuit Spirits, Jeptha Creed, Jackson Purchase, Boondocks, and others, and an after-party headlined by Creekwater with bluegrass openers Hancock and Schaus. Twilight tickets for the October 3rd main event are still available at bourbononthebanks.org. Be sure to visit thebourbonroad.com

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan dive into an unexpected treat: a surprise sample sent directly from Thirteenth Colony Distilleries. They are cracking open the latest 2026 Hazmat Double Oaked Single Barrel Bourbon. Before digging into the high-proof pour, the boys catch up on recent whiskey opportunities in their respective cities and break down the literal and figurative anatomy of a hazmat pour—and exactly what it takes to survive one. On Whiskey World News, Bryan tackles the business side of the industry, discussing the potential reasons behind why the heavily rumored Brown-Forman sale is apparently not going through. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys indulge in a little fantasy: What is a whiskey you have never actually tasted, but in your mind, you just know it would be the best whiskey ever? Surprise high-proof bourbon, major industry corporate drama, and a bit of whiskey daydreaming—pour a glass and settle in!

If you've followed our podcast, you know how much we love River Roots in Cleveland, Ohio. For this short, we taste and review a recent River Roots single barrel selection that was done by the Sprayberry Bottle Shop in Marietta, Georgia. The whiskey they selected is an American Single Malt that was distilled in California. With a unique mashbill of 88% malted barley and 12% malted rye, this whiskey is 7 year 10 months old and comes in at a massive 145.16 proof. If you've listened closely, you know that we typically love malt whiskeys. However, will this one be an exception to that rule? You'll have to listen to find out. One thing is for sure, this might be the most unique whiskey that we've tasted this year and quite possibly in the history of the podcast. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan get their hands on a long-awaited release from Heaven Hill: an Elijah Craig 15-Year Single Barrel. After years of fans asking for more age-stated options, the boys finally see if this 15-year pour lives up to the hype. Before cracking the seal, the conversation takes a turn into the struggles of caffeine withdrawal, the hidden grip of sugar, and why Heaven Hill made a brilliant move by officially adding a 15-year expression back into the mix. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares the news that has the whole community buzzing: Buffalo Trace has officially released the follow-up to the Single Oak Project. Given their deep dive into the original project, the boys are absolutely stoked to see what's next. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys lean into the spirit of innovation: What is one of your favorite "experiments" in the whiskey world? Big age statements, big news, and a little bit of healthy living (or trying to) — grab a pour and join us.

On this episode of Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy pour a bold Indiana bourbon and break down what all those whiskey labels actually mean. They dive into Fenwick’s Single Barrel Bourbon 5-Year-Old Cask Strength, talk through the difference between cask strength, barrel strength, full proof, and single barrel, and then discover a bottle that changes dramatically once a little water or ice gets involved. At 118.3 proof, this one brings big caramel, vanilla, and a serious kick — but also one of the most surprising transformations they’ve had in years. The guys also revisit the Aganorsa Leaf La Validación Habano Toro, talk about where it lands in the strength and flavor profile, and make the case for keeping notes on what you smoke, what you drink, and how a cigar changes from the first third to the final third. Along the way, they get into the Weber grill-brush recall, the dangers of wire bristles, how to clean your grill the right way, and why people will spend serious money on a grill but cheap out on taking care of it. There’s also a detour into McDonald’s gimmicks, a bizarre CEO sandwich moment, and Tony’s behind-the-scenes story from attending the State of the Union, complete with security, checked phones, confiscated cigars, and a view of Congress that turned out to be better than the speech itself. It’s bourbon, cigars, grills, McDonald’s, politics without the politics, and the kind of wandering conversation that makes Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour exactly what it’s supposed to be.
